Friday night the freezing rain started around midnight, continued until at least daybreak. April slid down the stairs and splatted on the bricks. Everything was iced over. Darn it!
Everybody stayed in, but the temps did rise. Continued to rain most of the day, I made several trips out to the barn to make sure they had adequate water and hay. It got so foggy during the day that we couldn't see the grain elevator across the road. And that place is as big as the Emerald City of Oz. We were really socked in.
Knowing the impending weather forecast, Tom dumped the manure spreader Friday night. YEA!
As the evening deepened, the breeze picked up and the fog lifted, stars came out and the bricks dried out, so did some of the gravel. Still have an ice flow in the parking lot, in the Dry Paddock, too.
Sunday dawned clear and beautiful. I won't say it's 'warm,' but it is really nice outside. Still treacherously icy in lots of areas. No riding today. It would be dangerous and irresponsible. But, everybody is outside today, where they want to be. KC, Sprite and Lil Fred immediately, and at the same time, rolled as soon as they got outside.
The groundhog in Pennsylvania said Spring was right around the corner. Bring it on!
